Lighting Groups
A lighting group is a set of network light bulbs that you can control together through your remote control or mobile
application (for kits with a Gateway). For example, you might have a lighting group that includes light bulbs on
the same floor. Or you might have a group that includes hallway and entryway lights, making it easy to turn on or
off as you arrive or leave home. All light bulbs in the same group turn on and off together and brighten or dim to
the same level. A light bulb can belong to more than one lighting group, allowing you to include it in different
groups for different purposes. There are some limitations:
• One light bulb can belong to a maximum of eight different lighting groups.
• One remote control can control up to four different lighting groups.
• You can add additional remote controls to add four more lighting groups per remote control.
• The Gateway (if included) does not have lighting group limitations other than the eight-group limit
on light bulbs.
Multi-fixture Lights
When installing light bulbs or setting up lighting groups, you should consider how you want multi-fixture lights to
behave. Since power to the light has to remain on (so the remote control or mobile application can access the
light bulb) you would either use all network light bulbs in a multi-fixture light or no network light bulbs at all. If you
are using network light bulbs in a multi-fixture light, you should add them all to the same group so that they turn
on and off together (though you do not have to).
